The Where There's A Will There's A Way 5K is a Fun Run For Hope. It was created, owned and implemented by teenagers back in 2011 as part of the birth of The Will To Live Foundation, a non-profit organization created by kids to increase the Will To Live of teenagers and young adults everywhere. We do this by:
-
Raising The Awareness of Teen Suicide in our communities
-
Increasing The Education around depression and other mental illnesses and their stigmas
-
Delivering Hope to Teenagers (and their families) everwhere
As always, 100% of all funds raised go towards the "Education and Awareness programs of the Will To Live Foundation.
This is our 16th Anniversay runing of this wonderful event that was created and is implemented and owned by the teenagers of Will to Live! We hope you will join us! We expect over 1000 partcipants enjoying a wonderful event full of hope - we call it "Hope's Greatest Run"
Thank you for your support. Remember this is a fun run! All are welcome - from experienced and competitive runners (they get to go first) to Families, kids, dogs (with leash and clean up of course), neighborhood groups and corporations as well. As always, it is a team theme, so if you have a group of "Life Teammates" (10 or more) - then sign up and run as a team - together (you'll also save $5/each)
Love ya man!

WHAT IS LIGHT UP THE CORNERS?
A glowing, flashing, blinking, shining, night time running party and fundraiser in one! This event is sure to Light Up The (Peachtree) Corners AND Light Up A Life! Proceeds from the event go to benefit at-risk children and families in our community who are struggling by giving them the chance to participate in life-enhancing programs and activities at the Fowler YMCA.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FUN!
The two events, the 4 Mile Run and 1k (6/10th of a mile) Twilight Trot, will each be a one-of-a-kind night time experience that is less about how fast you run or walk and more about much fun you have! The course will be lined with blinking lights to illuminate the way and participants will be given glow bling to light up the course as you run/walk. There will be contests for the "glowiest" men, women, boys, girls, and teams. So, strap on as much glow bling as you can find and come light up the course with your friends and family! Whether you are a fast runner, a weekend jogger, or a casual walker you are invited to be a part of this exciting LIGHT UP THE CORNERS event. Strollers welcome, but for safety purposes, must start at the back of the pack.
PACE GROUPS: Pace groups will be set up at the starting line. Participants will be encouraged to start in the pace group that most closely matches expected average pace for the 4-mile run.
